Nicholas Altrock ( September 15 , 1876 - January 20 , 1965 ) was an American left-handed Pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Louisville Colonels , Boston Americans , Chicago White Sox , and Washington Senators . Born in Cincinnati, Ohio , Altrock was one of the better pitchers in baseball for a brief period from 1904 to 1906 with the White Sox. He was instrumental in the White Sox World Series championship in 1906 , going 20-13 with a 2.06 ERA in the regular season and 1-1 with a Series-best 1.00 ERA against the Chicago Cubs . An arm injury after 1906 ruined his career, but he hung on with the White Sox and Senators until 1924 , though he pitched very little after 1908 and made sporadic pinch-hitting appearances after that, including one in 1933 at 56 years of age. Altrock became a coach for the Senators in 1912 and remained on the staff until 1953 . During that time, he was noted for his antics in the coaching box and teamed with Al Schacht , the "Clown Prince of Baseball," for a dozen years to perform silly antics on baseball fields in the days before official mascots. Altrock died at age 88 in Washington, D.C.
